Water
Rated up to 38 L a day*, with 150 L stored (design capacity) and treated for drinking.
A squad Rally Point unit stays at a backcountry ranger station or remote campground through the season, making its own water and power from the sun with a satellite link for rangers and visitors.
Backcountry ranger stations, remote campgrounds and trailheads sit miles from the nearest water line and power pole, and many have no cell service. Water gets hauled in, and a hiker in trouble may be hours from a phone.
Parks also face wildfire season, flash floods and summer heat, when a stranded visitor needs water, a place to wait and a way to call for help.
